There was a sea of people here, and a large number of people shouted around a dozen rostrums.
"I'll give you five thousand taels."
"I'll give 10,000 taels."
"Fifteen thousand taels."
The voices of various bids came and went, and they were all five and a half thousand upwards, as if they were not holding silver dollars in their hands, but the treasures that used to be like waste paper.
"I'll give 100,000 taels!"
A shocking price suddenly popped out of one place and quickly pressed into one piece, making the entire Jiangsu auction area instantly silent, and all the people participating in the auction looked at the bidders stupidly.
At this time, the cement supply of Songjiang Mansion auctioned, Songjiang is famous all over the world, and now there is the only Shanghai port that has received Westerners, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the potential for the development of this place, if it can win the quota of cement supply, it will undoubtedly be able to take the lead.
"I'll give 110,000 taels." One of the men stood up and shouted.
"One hundred and fifteen thousand taels." The person who shouted 100,000 taels in front refused to give up and continued to increase the price. Then others joined in one after another, and the price went all the way up, soon breaking through 200,000 taels, then 300,000, and finally fixed at the limit of 345,000 taels.
This price far exceeds the auctions in other provinces next door, and it can only be said that there are too many rich people in Jiangnan.
"Thirty-four and five thousand, and no one has raised the price." The officials of the inner government shouted excitedly, he never expected that the first auction would shout such a high price.
"Three hundred and forty-five thousand taels, deal!" After waiting for a few seconds, seeing that no one was participating in the robbery, the auction official of the Inner Government immediately dropped the hammer excitedly, and then issued a qualification certificate stamped with the Great Seal of the Inner Government to the bidder.
Next, there is the auction of the next mansion, although there are not as many as Songjiang Mansion, but the least transaction price is more than 150,000 yuan, and the average is about 200,000 yuan.
This kind of auction, many people are participating for the first time, the pleasure of spending a lot of money, the envious eyes of others, and the blazing atmosphere, let them be deeply intoxicated.
Looking at the lively scene, Zhu Youxiao smiled very happily, but the conversation between him and Wang Changyue was diametrically opposed.
"A million is gone?" He asked stingily. Originally, Zhu Youxiao was quite a local tyrant, but as soon as the national road construction plan was launched, he found that he still didn't have enough money, 30 million taels was just a preliminary budget, and no one could be sure how much he would want later.
"Don't you Taoist temples have incense money, no subsidies?"
"My Majesty, this is a Taoist temple spread across the country, and it has only cost a million taels to save a lot, not to mention that Your Majesty, you still have to train Taoist priests who know how to heal, and the cost of this is huge." Wang Changyue suddenly changed her face and began to complain.
"Your Majesty, the cement supply of one mansion you auctioned is more than 200,000 taels, and only five mansions are enough for our Heavenly Emperor to spend money, and please open the door of convenience for Your Majesty, is this also for the convenience of the missionary cause."
"Old Taishan, uncle, how much do you offer?" Zhu Youxiao suddenly turned his head and looked at the unrelated Zhang Guoji and Wang Sheng. Seeing that Wang Changyue was puzzled, he explained with a smile, "I will give you all their offers." ”
Give it all to me!
Wang Changyue stared at the two of them excitedly, with a look of anticipation, that look, almost written on his face, open high, open high.
"Hey, hey!" Zhang Guoji and Wang Sheng smiled bitterly at Wang Changyue's ugly appearance, and even complained slightly about the emperor in their hearts, giving themselves a problem.
The two glanced at each other, and couldn't help but think in their hearts about what price was appropriate, which could satisfy the emperor without showing off their wealth. However, in the end, Zhang Guoji is still an old man, and since his mind is focused on making money in business, he has become much more sensitive to this.
He smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, is this price paid on the spot like those people outside, or can you pay one or two, and then pay it after you earn the money." ”
Well? This is a white wolf with empty gloves! Zhu Youxiao looked at his cheap father-in-law with a smile, and he understood the other party's thoughts at once, this bid didn't matter how much it was for Zhu Youxiao, anyway, it was given to Wang Changyue, and it had nothing to do with him.
But for the two of them, it is different, if they open the order to offend Wang Changyue, they don't say if they can give it, even if they give it, don't they tell the emperor that they are very rich. Showing off your wealth in front of the emperor has not ended well since ancient times.
"I'll allow you to pay later, but you'll have to pay a tenth of it initially." Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "After all, this money is for Wang Daochang, but now he is waiting for the rice to be put in the pot, and he can't delay it for too long." ”
"So ......" Zhang Guoji groaned and looked at Wang Sheng, who gave a big smile, "Everything is up to the national master." "Wang Sheng is self-aware, he can't bargain with the emperor, so it's better to give the initiative to the abbot and have a good time, anyway, he is the emperor's uncle, and the other party can't pit him.
"In that case, Your Majesty, the old man thinks that the price should be one million taels of silver, and the old man and the uncle will each pay 500,000 taels." Zhang Guoji spit out a number that surprised Wang Changyue greatly.
"Kunijo-sama is good, it's really good." He praised again and again.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at his cheap father-in-law with deep meaning, and said with a smile, "Since it is the price that Lord Guozhang himself has put down, then I will not object, and when today passes, Lao Taishan will give 100,000 taels to the Zongren Order, and then go to the Inner Mansion with the receipt of the Zongren Mansion to get the technology, and then cooperate with the Ministry of Industry to start road construction and production." ”
"Okay!" Zhang Guoji responded with a smile, and finally won a business, and it was a fairly long-term business. However, this was not enough, thinking of this, he looked at Wang Changyue again, I heard that this Taoist chief was training doctors for His Majesty? There must be a lot of medicinal materials in hand, or a lot of medicinal materials are needed, and this is also a long-term business.
"Dao Chief, take a step, let's discuss the matter of delivery." Zhang Guoji smiled and pulled Wang Changyue to the side to get close and let the emperor out.
"Your Majesty, there are some things that Wei Chen does not understand about the original path hadith." Zhang Xianyong took the opportunity to step forward and ask questions.
"Oh, what's the confusion?" Zhu Youxiao is very curious, this original hadith is the fundamental classic of the Heavenly Emperor's view compiled by him, Zhang Xianyong and Wang Changyue, and now the compiler still doesn't understand something, what kind of international joke is this.
"Your Majesty, this is it." Zhang Xianyong took out a copy of the original Dao Hadith, pointed to one place, and asked in a low voice. If people hear that he, the compiler, still has something to understand, it will be left behind for 10,000 years.
"Oh, it turned out to be here." Seeing the place Zhang Xianyong pointed to, Zhu Youxiao suddenly realized, "If you want to understand this, you have to return to the beginning, the first sentence of the original path hadith, which is the starting point of all the themes." ”
Zhu Youxiao explained them one by one.
The things that Zhang Xianyong didn't understand were all set by him personally, and many of the contents and meanings in them were directly copied from some Western philosophical views and Marxist-Leninist views in later generations, and the places that he figured out and met his own requirements were mixed and piled together.
Zhu Youxiao's own knowledge is not profound, so after such a pile-up, learners will naturally feel awkward and unnatural places after digging deeply.
"Okay, it's almost over, I also had a flash of inspiration at that time, so I had these views, and the truth in it naturally didn't make sense, Aiqing still had to bother to study and revise it." About half an hour later, Zhu Youxiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not easy to finally fool around.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the poor path will surely devote himself to studying and compiling the original hadith to perfection." Zhang Xianyong looked like a foolish man moving mountains and concentrating on learning, and Zhu Youxiao, who watched it, was a little worried.
He couldn't help but speak, "Aiqing is in love, any sect, its classics can't be perfect, and what we need is not perfect classics." ”
"Huh?" Zhang Xianyong raised his head suspiciously, the Heavenly Emperor Concept was spread by the emperor for the two of them to converge, and the original Dao Hadith was also compiled according to the emperor's will, so why doesn't it matter now?
"Huh." Zhu Youxiao smiled, his eyes looked into the distance, "Any religion, in the final analysis, is to guide people to goodness, why lead people to good, because nature is cruel, survival is cruel, if it is not good, then everyone is indifferent, it is like wolves and beasts, and in this way, in the end, people can only be in the world's thousands of creatures, not as now, the lord of heaven and earth." ”
"Human nature is selfish, if there is no code of ethics and filial piety, there is no one to support the orphaned and old, and the long-term morality often collapses, human nature is greedy, if there is no restraint, the landlord will be desperate to exploit the tenant farmers, and the society will collapse over time. Between people, it is officialdom, everything pays attention to interests, supporting parents, raising children, and allegiance to the emperor, and religion and morality are just a cloak for these behaviors derived from interests. ”
"A coat of flamboyance, gentleness, and acceptance." Looking at Zhang Xianyong, Zhu Youxiao's tone was gentle, but the things between the words were so cruel, as if a person had pulled out his clothes and put them under a microscope to observe.
"So, it's normal for the Hadith to have loopholes and awkwardness, and it doesn't affect anything, and instead of spending their energy on this, it's better to spend on the training of personnel, and when they really understand the mission of understanding the religion, they will maintain this outer garment, to perfect this outer garment, to act as this outer garment, to act as this outer garment, from the bottom of their hearts."
"True doctrine, before heaven and earth, it is enough for everyone to be equal!"
"In front of the Emperor of Heaven, everyone is equal!" Zhang Xianyong muttered, his eyes gradually changed from confusion to clarity, then to enlightenment, and then there was tranquility.
This tranquility, in contrast to the hustle and bustle of auction competition outside, looks unique.
